Pokemon Go #18: You ain't nothin' but a Houndoom.

[DoctorTwo]

Has everybody got Ex Raid passes for next Saturday? Hopefully it'll be another 100% catch rate...

Welcome to the new thread.

[SneakyGremlins]

I do!

[TangelasVine]

I've never had a pass but don't raid much so not suprised there!

Thanks for the new thread

[tiredvommachine]

I have. First one so big hopes for actually catching it!

[WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue]

Yeah, got another ex-raid for then but can’t attend unfortunately as working. Oh well, they’ll be plenty of others

[ContraryToPopularBelief]

Just checking in to say hi on the new thread. I'm not managing to play as much as I'd like due to the heat here. But I hope you're enjoying your gifts from Cyprus if your my friend.

[BouleBaker]

I actually managed to gift to everyone on my friend list today that I could gift to. Made my first Ultra friend too, 50,000 XP is very useful.

[HannahnotAgnes]

Hi Contrary, think we must be friends as I had a gift from Cyprus today - thank you

[MrsJamin]

Finally got mew! He was very hard to catch! Also managed to time becoming an ultra friend right so I got 100xp with my Lucky egg, yay!

[TakeAChanseyOnMe]

@Contrary - I also got s gift from Cyprus, I wondered if someone was on holiday! I’m psychick.

[WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue]

Made my first Ultra friend too, 50,000 XP is very useful.

BouleBaker If you know you’ll be turning ultra friends with someone, you should put a lucky egg on to get 100,000 XP.

[OhLookHeKickedTheBall]

No ex raid passes here, but raiding isn't something I get the opportunity to do all that often

[SneakyGremlins]

Getting close to 9 10km eggs!

[tiredvommachine]

I wish we could bin unwanted eggs, frustrates the hell out of me that I can't open gifts because I have no egg spaces

[HannahnotAgnes]

I hate the 7k gift eggs - so far mine have all been duds, unless there's something special about purple meows? I only open gifts when I have no spaces so that I don't get one of those!

[HannahnotAgnes]

*meowths

[Summernamechange]

Bored of the 7k eggs now - it’s all I have. I want normal eggs again.

After months and months of trying to get a ditto - I caught 2 in one day!

[TakeAChanseyOnMe]

Someone ruined the blue theme. (wasn’t me!)

[LBOCS2]

I know, we had a pink themed gym at my local station and I came back from work and someone had put a tyranitar in there 🙄

No ex-raid pass. I'm very excited about a) the new special tasks boss from August 1st, and b) the rumours about Gen4 landing soon as I've been saving candies for all my evolutions for AGES!

[LBOCS2]

Pink gym. Tyranitar was very out of place.

[Izzy09]

Any tips on how to throw an excellent curveball would be appreciated.I can’t even throw a rubbish one and I want to catch that Mew 😂

[HannahnotAgnes]

I need that tip too Izzy - still desperate to be able to throw an excellent curveball!

[LBOCS2]

Choose big Pokémon. Their 'excellent' ring is bigger. Wailmer are a good bet.

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

Oooo shiny thread, nice.

Dd reckons there is a biiiig update comin'

Double XP, gen 4 etc. Hope she's right, I'm off for a few weeks so would really be able to get out and about.

I'm waiting for my second vulpix from 7k eggs then I'm done with them.

[bettytaghetti]

Like the new title Doctor!

Another one with an ex pass for next week but can't make it. At least it's due to going on holiday, so can't complain!
All of us who attended Friday's got absolutely soaked! Wonder how popular it will remain once the weather deteriorates.

LumpySpacedPrincess I haven’t posted it here because it’s unconfirmed, but the guy who successfully leaked the water festival and the Eggstravagnza events last year has possibly leaked a Gen IV Evolution Event.

He’s basically saying we’ll be getting Gen IV
Evolutions of previous Pokémon (eg. Rhyperior, Magmortar, Electrivire etc.), new evolution items, double XP, increased spawns of evolved Pokémon and Gen III evolutions to finally be released in the wild (except Milotic), along with a few other things.

While the source of this ‘leak’ is credible in that they have been correct and successfully leaked before, it is not confirmed, so we can only hope
